Want to look ten years younger/ never need to use Want to look ten years younger/ never need to use filters? Book yourself a hydro facial with @skin_spa_wetherby (gift) ❤️! Then do this from your 30s: monthly hydro facials, Botox )preventative), wear SPF every day whatever the weather, eat well and exercise. Details of my amazing hydro facial by Skin Spa Wetherby: a multifunctional facial system combines several advanced technologies to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin whilst improving overall skin health and glow. The treatment includes hydro dermabrasion to help remove dead skin cells and clear congestion, ultrasonic technology to support hydration and improve product absorption, and a skin scrubber to loosen oil, debris and impurities from the pores. Radio Frequency (RF) helps stimulate collagen and elastin production to support firmer, tighter looking skin and improve the appearance of fine lines, whilst cold therapy helps calm, soothe and refresh the skin, reducing redness and puffiness. The LED light therapy mask helps target different skin concerns including acne, inflammation and signs of ageing, leaving the skin looking brighter, healthier and more radiant.Suitable for all skin types and perfect for anyone wanting smoother, clearer, more refreshed skin with no downtime. #over40 #hydrofacial #relatable #fyp #viral@
